Ann Coulter famously said “Kill their leaders and convert them to Christianityâ€. Regrettably, all the versions of Christianity that once upon a time would have been capable of implementing such a program have replaced the worship of Christ the Redeemer with Jesus the community organizer. The “Arab Spring†was the Cathedral deluding itself that it was installing progressive “Muslim†regimes in the Middle East – only to discover what was …
The left singularity versus the technological singularity
Lately this blog has largely been about the left singularity:Â That leftism leads to more leftism, which leads to even more leftism even faster, until everything goes to hell. The best known singularity, however is the information technology singularity, the rapture of the nerds What of the theory that information technology leads to more information technology? Well, in a sense, in the long run, looking back over the last several …
Derivatives did it!
Bernie Madoff steals from his depositors. An evil Jew did it! Punish the evil Jew Bernie Madoff. Jon Corzine, pillar of the progressive establishment, senior financial regulator, steals from his depositors. Derivatives did it!. Poor Jon Corzine. We must punish derivatives by regulating them further.
Recent posts on Urban Future vanished
Recent excellent posts on the excellent blog “Urban Future†have mysteriously vanished. Perhaps the bitbucket ate them, but I suspect the problem was that he said “the Leftâ€, instead of saying the US Government. Edit: In the comments, Nick Land reassures me that they were merely eaten by the bitbucket. He was discussing the left singularity. He suggests that the left singularity was akin to an alcoholic drinking shoe polish …
As in Britain, maintaining order is being criminalized
As you know, another photo has come out showing that five foot eleven athlete Trayvon Martin beat the stuffing out of five foot seven overweight George Zimmerman, while Zimmerman never hit back, until he finally shot Martin. And when I say “come out†I mean that Zimmerman’s new lawyers extracted it by a year of litigation. His first set of lawyers were happy to roll over for the state, and …
China more capitalist than the USA
With the USA becoming more socialist, and China more capitalist, it was inevitable that they would cross over. And so today we see that private property rights in China are more secure and respected than in the USA. Which means that in a little while, the average Chinese will be richer than the average North American. At present, Chinese cars per capita is 21% of the US, electricity per capita …
Moldbug’s mission completed
Moldbug has a new post of substance, but not a whole lot of substance. That a significant proportion of votes are fraudulent, disproportionately in the most critical states, such as Ohio, and everyone piously turns a blind eye to voter fraud on a scale that makes the difference between one presidential candidate winning, and another winning, is interesting in that everyone turns a blind eye. Democracy is now so dead …
Leftwards with John Corzine
Urban Future tells us: When the Right attains power, it is by becoming something other than itself, betraying its partisans not only incidentally and peripherally, through timidity or incompetence, but centrally and fundamentally, by practically advancing an agenda that almost perfectly negates its supposed ideological commitments. It builds that which it had promised to destroy, and further enthralls that which it had promised to liberate. Its victories mean ever less, …
The median voter
Heartiste’s usually wise, insightful, and excellent blog has a pile of silly advice: What A Future American Right Party Can Do To Win A future American right party cannot win. You win by winning over the median voter, or, equivalently, the modal swinging voter. The median voter or modal swinging voter in this election was someone who is single, fatherless, partly on welfare, if female a slut, if male frequently a …
The first American socialist experiment.
Doubtless you have all seen this before, but it needs repeating, (and it is free content, being long out of copyright) Governor Bradford, repeatedly re-elected governor of the Puritan settlement tells us in his journal “Of Plymouth Plantation”:
